Hi, i am trying to load a word document from a button in access, using VBA. I know a certain amount of VB, and i know that the Shell command works in VB, but appears to not work in VBA. Please have a brainstorm and come up with some ideas! Thanks

VBA Program Load

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
